LAY LEADERSHIP

PRESIDENT

Matt and the Schiering family have been OJC members since they moved back to Rockland County (from PA) in 2007. He served on the Board from 2014-2017 and the Executive Board from 2015-2017. Matt’s wife, Maddy, has been active on numerous committees over the years as well. Their grown children, Jared and Rayna, were Bar/Bat Mitzvah at OJC. They all enjoyed their OJC family trip to Israel together in 2016; so much so that Matt returned in 2017 with Rabbi Drill and Rockland Federation (where Matt served on the Board) for a ‘community weaving’ pilgrimage.  Matt is a lifelong Business and Marketing Leader. He holds a B.S. from Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration and an M.B.A. from University of Texas (El Paso).  His leadership experience began with a four-year tour of duty as an officer in the U.S. Army and now spans 27years featuring significant time at companies including Johnson & Johnson and SCA.   In his spare time, Matt enjoys writing; he has been published several times in Brandweek® Magazine. He also enjoys playing music, proudly fronting the classic rock cover band, Vinyl Countdown.
